Off The Lead

Kev is a 'car enthusiast' (he really didn't like being introduced as a 'boy racer'). We went deep into the world of 'twin cams' and motor sport generally. I was amazed at the width and breath of the term 'car enthusiast' and could have talked endlessly to him. His enthusiasm is contagious and he has since opened up a whole new world to me. So much so, that early in the new year we intend to go rou...

Roger is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under the infamous Marcelo Garcia. As well as being an absolute ANIMAL on the mats Roger is a complete gent. The atmosphere he's created in his gym is second to none and the welcome I received by his members is a tribute to both Roger and Paul Fox {another MG Black Belt}, who between them run the Royal Grappling Academy {www.rga.ie}.In this episode we talk...

Gaz is a massive music fan but we only got talking about music generally and never really got into what makes him, "Ireland's second biggest Take That fan", another podcast maybe! In this episode we talk Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Conor Mc Gregor and much more. I hope your enjoying these conversations and all going according to plan the 'Off The Lead' you-tube channel and facebook page should be live ne...

Oisin is a secondary school teacher who has [at least to a certain degree] restored my faith in teachers generally! His passion for what he does is obvious and as is becoming the norm, we discuss everything from how he delivered one of his kids [whilst on the phone to the emergency services], to the importance of understanding history in order to understand, and make our way through, the present....

Through his use of psychedelics, Ivor has found a new path through life. An intriguing guy to say the least, we discuss consciousness, spirituality, reincarnation and this is certainly not the last appearance he'll make on this podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Paul is an award winning producer, director, writer and a complete gent. We speak about everything from contraception to journalism and lots, lots more. Our recording was interrupted slightly {in no small part due to the fact that I don't know what I'm doing} so at around 24 minutes in you'll notice the conversation jump slightly - C'est la vie. Much of Pauls work can be found at www.paulwebsterfi...
